Haven't played Stories, DQVIII is good but it comes with FF XII which balances that out, Final Fantasy IV is a remake and really couldn't be screwed up by accident.

Huh?

Unless, I missed the part where S-E representatives BURST INTO YOUR HOUSE and FORCED YOU TO PLAY THE DEMO, I can't really understand the concept of it making DQVIII worse...

Ever heard of Final Fantasy Origins? Yes, it *is* possible to screw up remakes.

I am not saying DQ 8 is bad, I just think we need to weigh the evidence on both sides. There is no excuse for FF 12's demo at all.

Explian to me How Origins is a screw up?

Origins had some bad parts, but I wouldn't say it was compeltley screwed up. They just made a few bad choices in what they were translating.

Origins is screwed up compared to Dawn of Souls, which is what Origins SHOULD'VE been.

No excuse for the demo? How about to save you $50 later on down the road when they finally release that thing?
There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote.

Translations are a touchy subject at times, I played through 1 and really never saw anything out of place but I didn't pay close attention I was to busy running from anything non boss till I got my class change.

I could never play 2 long enough to see any storyline

which still would have been saved by the game not existing. which is what should have happened.

Exactly, almost nobody played Origin-2 because of the messed up character upgrade system.

I played through 2, sure. But I couldn't stand the thought of having to get hit to raise HP only for my MP to go down.

Rawr.

They fixed it in DoS.

Honestly I say that having FF 1 is worth buying Origins, and I doubt I would like the Stat system in 2 even if it were fixed, that kind of stat growth drives me nuts.

I've always had the impression that FF2 is really the black sheep of the old FF games. Kinda like Star Trek 3 and 5...

And I drop in at complete random, Notty. You really need to quit acting surprised. :P

I refuse! :P

And FF2 is far and beyond a better game in Dawn of Souls. Especially with the extra story added at the end.

Extra story, you say? Interesting. Perhaps I will have a look at it after all....

I just got my Dawn of Souls cart back from my nephew (who "borrowed" it shortly after I got it :P) I'll have to go through playing both games on it...

Arrrgh, taking exams in GX sucks.

More on that later.

For the moment, I want to talk about M+L2:Partners in Time. Moreover, how it managed to exceed my expectations, and still manage to be mediocre when compared to Superstar Saga.

First and foremost, gameplay. The babies, while adding more elements into the mix, suffer from...adding more elements into the mix. Superstar Saga had a near-perfect combat system, because it was SO SIMPLE. Adding two more buttons to the mix adds complication to a battle system that was build around being anti-complicated.

I wanted to cry when I found out my beloved Bros. Attacks was replaced with Bros. Items. I've gotten the hang of the new items, but it's still not the same. I can't adjust the speed for extra damage like in the last game, which was half the fun.

I felt I'd ACCOMPLISHED something when I'd mastered Hammer Bros and Fire Bros at full-speed.

Cannonballer is just a lame 4-button press. It's stupid that it does so much damage.

The music is also disappointing. If they'd just kept some of the tracks from Superstar Saga, it'd have been great. But they didn't.

Also, what they did to Fawful is just sad. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

With all the yucky parts out of the way, now for the good stuff.

This game maintains the humor that made the original great. And the story is automatically made good by the fact that it's not another game with cliche of teenagers that have save the world.

(Before anyone comments that "Saving the princess" is MORE cliche, gotta remember, this is MARIO for pete's sake.)

I also appriciate that they didn't try to just throw in some pointless feature with the touchscreen.

All in all, this game is good, certainly a worthly collection for anyone who owns a DS.

But it's just not as good as Superstar Saga.




Now, on the subject of Duel Academy. I dropped from Firey Duelist to Dropout Boy because I helped the shopowner. I missed the written exam and the timed duel. And I flunked the practical exam because he killed himself before I could even draw Poly.

Grr...stupid exams.

So tell me is there a good Yugioh game to get?

Day of The duelist wasn't to horrible, aside from the shadow relm completely Ignoring all restrictions. Marik, Odion and Rare Hunter are really tough fights.

Nightmare?

How was that?

Also Duel Academy is probably giving the worst cards ever.

I might pick up DA depending on the card lists, I only do one specific deck and Day of the Duelist was missing two of my fave cards.
